Ron White Consulting Services assists employers in support of a proactive safety culture through “plan, do, check, act” management systems processes, including training.

Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the workplace safe and environmentally friendly. Workers should know and understand the hazards they may be exposed to and necessary controls and protective measures to keep them safe. Workers should also understand how they fit in regarding quality, health, safety and environmental goals and objectives pertaining to their respective work environment and ensure their work-sites meet or exceed those expectations or requirements. Workers must do their part by participating in the development of the management systems processes and understanding and following appropriate safe work practices (procedures). Workers should be trained in hazard identification and take corrective action before tasks begin. If workers encounter unsafe or questionable working conditions, they should have Stop Work Authority (SWA) to prevent themselves and/or coworkers from getting injured. There should be a process for reporting unsafe working conditions to management promptly without fear of reprisal. Managers should listen to workers and effectively deal with worker concerns about quality, health, safety and environmental issues in an appropriate manner. This empowers workers to do their part to support a safe and environmentally sound workplace.

Ron White Consulting Services’ subject matter experts and management system teams work closely with our clients to conduct workplace risk assessments (hazard identification and analysis), develop safe work practices (procedures) and train workers to understand the importance of work practices and encourage them to participate in ensuring the accuracy of written procedures and to embrace them. This can only be achieved with a high level of commitment from management and active engagement by the workers. Ultimately the goal is for workers to have the knowledge, skills, abilities and the determination to identify workplace hazards and/or unsafe working conditions and take necessary steps to eliminate those hazards or mitigate the potential outcomes. With 100+ years of combined quality, health, safety and environmental management system experience, Ron White Consulting Services helps employers meet the increasing demands of training and evaluating workers in order for the workers to safely perform duties assigned to them while also protecting the environment.
